Lawrence, Thank you for your answer. it is exactly what I want to know:
moving database.
I am using windows internal database and I want to move it to another HD, so
I have to use Sqlcmd -deattach from one HD and attach to another.
please give me exact command line of this command: I did not find
deattach/attach option.

Moving content I did use normal procedure:
http://www.wsuswiki.com/ContentOnNetworkDrive
and it works regerdless what do you have: master or replica mode.
Thank you again.
